You said you're a trained network admin Yet for 2 years you can't figure out the issue? There is nothing to fix on our side. Issue is on your side. The Ethernet port speed on the 4000s work fine.5 points

Have you checked under Settings->Device Preferences->Display and Sound->Advanced sound settings, and make sure that S/PDIF is still turned on ? It can happen sometimes after a s/w update some settings, like S/PDIF and Force Max Volume, will sometimes toggle. I know it is not ideal, but it does happen sometimes.4 points

How would people be ignorant and incompetent if they accidentally made that settings change? Accidents do happen. I'm sorry but that is a very arrogant thing to say.4 points

Finally, I resolved the issue. Had to unistall buzztv 5 updates, turn surround sound off. Then buzztv 5 reinstalled updates by itself and the sound bar is still working4 points

If you're using a MAC Server it has only one connection Same goes if you're using XC or M3U with just one connection. So if you start a recording while watching, the app records it in the foreground That is why it stops recording if you stop watching it, as in go to the home screen or turn the box off. If you scheduled the recording and aren't using the box, the background recorder will start recording it This also works if the box is in Standby, or if you have an X5, U5 or Classic and use Shutdown for power off, the box will boot up to record If its in suspend, it will record in the background. If you're using XC or M3U with 2+ connections, when you record something even while watching it The background recorder will automatically create a new connection and use that to record it This allows you to change channels and watch something else, or use another app/go to the home screen etc. This is just how our app works to record4 points

Hi, this is just a follow-up on the issue. So the issue seemed to be the card. It's borked. I tried to format the card several times, on different computers, and the card just won't format. I tried running CHKDSK on it, and CHKDSK detects errors, but can't fix those errors. I happened to receive a new Sandisk Micro SD from Amazon later that day. That card was meant for something else, but I put it in the Buzz box instead. And so far, it works fine (meaning recorded shows aren't self-deleting themselves). But I will replace this with a flash drive, as soon as I can. Thank you @Emporium and @dishuser for the assistance.3 points

Thank you for your insightful and polite responses. I finally got my earbuds to work. I kept fidgeting around until i turned the tunneled playback off,, set the stream to automatic and volla. It works perfectly. It's always the simple stupid stuff with software.3 points

Just tried it with a brand new 120GB SSD (fresh out of the package - yes I still have a pile left over from an old project). Installed in U5, it saw it, and asked to format it as portable storage, which I did. Then shutdown, removed and put into laptop and it was exFAT. Not complaining3 points

I hate to tell you, but your TV is a variable here also. Because I have my U5 connected to a basic HP 1080p monitor and the color space settings work fine. OK, I don't have all of those option you show above, but the option is NOT grey... It is selectable, and changeable. So honestly.. I don't see it needing any bug fix So that just goes to show you, that just because YOU tried everything YOU think you can try, it does not automatically mean the box has a bug. There are MANY things that come into play, and your TV is still one of them.3 points

Please keep in mind The Wifi antennas on the X5, also act as signal for BT Some people also don't have them screwed on when using Ethernet, and wonder why their remote doesn't function properly. So you can try adjusting those for better signal, or you can always try and upgrade the antennas to something bigger to increase the DB gain for signal. As the antennas are standard wifi screw on/off, so any standard antenna will fit.3 points

"Searching for source", sound like server issue or a compatibility issue with the server. Have you tried installing latest version of STBEmu on the box and use that to see if it is not a compatibly issue with the app version (which is custom stbemu). If you try any other app like youtube or something, does that work ? Just as a test, have you tried using an Ethernet cable ? Just a few tests to try to narrow down the source. And next time, I suggest starting your own thread, instead of resurrecting a 2.5+ year old thread.2 points

Yup! But the busted card was ExFat (but something's wrong with it, it won't store files). The new micro SD card came preformatted as ExFat, and there's been no issues so far.2 points

It's not a "boot up sequence". It is just a "status message" telling you what it is doing Personal taste, but I prefer to know what it is doing, instead of just waiting for it to do it's stuff in the background with no idea what it is doing. It's not like it takes forever to do it anyhow. And if you use fast login (as DU mentions), it does make it pretty quick for most portals (you barely even have a chance to read what it says).2 points

as Emorium mentioned format it to exfat because default is fat32 especially if you want to download a vod2 points

sounds like server is booting you for idling on one channel maybe they think you're resharing2 points

But VPN is something to test with for sure as DU recommended. Some ISP are silently implementing throttling to many known services. I have 2 customers,same ISP, that have 3 services each.. And all of a sudden one day on one of the services only, both started getting all sorts of buffering. Enable VPN, and all buffering gone for both of them. Sounds like ISP throttling to me (same ISP, different parts of town, same IPTV service and started buffering at same time, no issues with other services, and 2 different VPN services and it bypasses the throttling issues).2 points

We reviewed the code on Amlogics SDK. And this change was actually done by Amlogic on their newest SDKs, which we upgraded to in August 2023 I can post a screenshot of the change if you want from Amogic directly. And we will update to another updated SDK as well on our next OTA. The other boxes you reference on 905X4 must be using the older version of the SDK. And they don't have this change. Amlogic obviously added this change for a reason.2 points

Ok no problem. If that's how you feel. We make decisions like this to prevent returns. If we turned this setting on and our return rates went up because of it. We could risk being removed off of Amazon for example. There are pros and cons with everything. And the cons outweigh the pros in this scenario.2 points

We have been selling 3 models with the BT400 Remote and Smart Set feature now for 2 years You're the first person to bring this up to be honest. We haven't had anyone else make comments about how the Power + Volume buttons work for Auto TV/Smart Set feature. And our remote is made by the same factory that makes for Google. Even Google Chromecast is setup this way. As I just tried it.2 points

Only reason you would need a different MAC, is that your MAC has been compromised and your provider decided you are better off changing MAC. OR your provider tells you that your MAC is "taken" on their server, because someone used it with some app that allows them to use whatever MAC they want. But the odds are slim (1 in 16^6 - ie: 16.7 Million+ combinations - assuming the 00:1A:79 remains static) and that is only on that specific server.2 points

if you have two different providers then you dont need a two Mac address. just add to servers by going to server settings and add one by one.2 points

When you say it is not recognizing your USB, have you checked under storage to see if it is there ? Or are you assuming it is not recognizing it because it does not see the backup ? Have you checked the USB key on a PC to see if there is a ZIP file on the key ? ZIP file would have a name similar to this "buzztv-backup-20240223_205621.zip" except the numbers would be different to represent the DATE and time you did the backup. On Android 9 devices (like the XR4500), it is quite possible that the backup was NOT done to the USB stick, but rather to your internal storage. It has been mentioned many times, on many threads here and on other forums, that you will need to copy the backup file over to the USB manually on Android 9 devices. But, if you already reset your device, that file is now gone. If the drive does have the zip file on it, then you can just enabled network shares on the xr4500, and then use a PC top copy the ZIP file over to the xr4500 via a network share. But that assumes the zip file is actually on the USB key. If I recall the zip file contains just a .yaml file in it which contains all the backup info. No zip file, no backup unfortunately.2 points

From main menu, if you go into settings, and select "location" you can turn it on if you want. I just don't see the point. Use Aptoide store (as mentioned by Ryu), or sideload anything you want. I'm in Canada also, and have no issue installing any app so far.2 points
